Definition

 The physical characteristics of a videorecording.
VIS

Use for videorecordings and accompanying sound characteristics. Use also for videorecordings published separately or as individual components of a kit.

All formats

007 is valid in all formats so you can code for the physical characteristics of the parts of an item such as accompanying material.

Subfields
‡a Category of material The category of material to which the item belongs is a videorecording, which is defined as a recording on which visual images, usually in motion and accompanied by sound, have been registered. It is designed for playback on a television receiver or video monitor.
v Videorecording
‡b Specific material designation A one-character alphabetic code that describes the special class of material (usually the class of physical object) to which an item belongs (e.g., a videodisc). A fill character ( fill character ) is used when no attempt has been made to code this position.
c Videocartridge. Permanently encased reels of tape with ends joined together to form a loop.
d Videodisc
f Videocassette. Permanently encased tapes that run reel-to-reel.
n Not a motion picture, filmstrip or videorecording. Do not use. Code n is obsolete but may still appear in some records.
r Videoreel
u Unspecified. The specific material designation is not specified.
z Other
‡d Color The color characteristics of the videorecording.
a One color. Do not use.
b Black-and-white
c Multicolored. Use for multicolor.
m Mixed
n Not applicable. The item has no images.
u Unknown
z Other. Use for tones, stains, tints, etc.
‡e Videorecording format The format of the videorecording. If a bibliographic record for a videorecording describes various available formats, e.g., Beta and VHS videocassettes, use a separate 007 field for each.
a Beta. (1/2 in. videocassette)
b VHS. (1/2 in. videocassette)
c U-matic. (3/4 in. videocassette)
d EIAJ. (1/2 in. reel)
e Type C. (1 in. reel)
f Quadruplex. (1 in. or 2 in. reel)
g Laserdisc. A laser optical (reflective) videorecording system that uses an analog technique called PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to represent video information on a grooveless, smooth, round plastic disc.

Laserdiscs exist in three sizes: 12, 8 and 4 3/4 inch diameters. The 12 inch disc is the most common size and is typically used for movies. The disc or its packaging usually bear the term or trademark: LD (LASER DISC), LASER VIDEODISC or LaserVision.

The 8 and 4 3/4 inch discs are uncommon and typically used for music videos or other short video programs. The disc or its packaging usually bear the term or trademark: CDV (CD VIDEO), LD (LASER DISC) or VSD (VIDEO SINGLE DISC).

h CED (capacitance electronic disc). Grooved, stylus-read videodiscs.
i Betacam. (1/2 in., videocassette)
j Betacam SP. (1/2 in., videocassette)
k Super-VHS. (1/2 in., videocassette)
m M-II. (1/2 in., videocassette)
n Not applicable. Do not use. Code n is obsolete but may still appear in pre-September 1985 records.
o D-2. (3/4 in., videocassette)
p 8mm.
q Hi-8 mm.
u Unknown
v DVD. A laser optical (reflective) videorecording system that uses a digital technique called PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) to represent video information on a grooveless, smooth, round plastic disc.

DVDs are usually 4 3/4 inch in diameter. The disc or its packaging usually bear the term or trademark: DVD, DVD VIDEO or VIDEO CD.

z Other
‡f Sound on medium or separate Indicates whether the sound is on the same medium as the film or a separate medium. Assume that the item has sound and that the sound is on the medium, unless otherwise noted. If the item is silent, do not use subfield ‡f.
a Sound on medium
b Sound separate from medium
u Unknown
‡g Medium for sound The medium used to carry the sound. If the item is silent, do not use subfield ‡ g.
a Optical sound track on motion picture film
b Magnetic sound track on motion picture film
c Magnetic audio tape in cartridge
d Sound disc
e Magnetic audio tape on reel
f Magnetic audio tape in cassette
g Optical and magnetic sound track on motion picture film
h Videotape
i Videodisc
u Unknown
z Other
‡h Dimensions The dimensions of the videotape. Use code z for widths or dimensions not on the list.
a 8 mm.
m 1/4 in.
o 1/2 in
p 1 in.
q 2 in.
r 3/4 in.
u Unknown
z Other. Use for all videodiscs.
‡i Configuration of playback channels The number of sound reproduction channels the videorecording film is designed to support. Code should match information in the physical description or in a note.
k Mixed. Use for more than one type of sound on a single item.
m Monaural. Use for one channel.
n Not applicable. Silent or sound is separate.
q Multichannel, surround or quadraphonic
s Stereophonic. Use of two channels.
u Unknown
